Roundup-tm or Kleenup-tm will kill the weeds through systemic action but are
rendered inactive upon contact with the soil. Thus, the area can be
replanted a few days after the weeds are sprayed.  The label says that pets
should be kept away from the area sprayed for an hour or so until the spray
dries.  The spray, by the way, is water soluable.

As far as moss is concerned, I believe that Arenaria (Irish moss) will do
well in full sunlight.  Sunset's Western Garden Book is a wealth of
information on such things as other books, I'm sure, are.
